Today was our consulate appointment so after a lengthy breakfast
we
waited in our room until we heard the good news at 11:30, that
everything
went well at the consulate. Tomorrow will be the oath and we'll
be
done! Sophie started to get fussy in the room, she's so used to
going and
going lately, she's beginning to really enjoy being on the go.
At noon
we headed out for a short shopping trip and to drop our laundry
off. The
weather was starting to get bad, there is a typhoon on the way,
but I
think it's going to miss us. Thankfully this should all be
passed by the
time we'll fly out Friday morning.
We returned to the room for lunch and nap time. Today I joined
Sophie
after the first hour of her nap and she woke me up 2 hours
later. It was
heavenly! I've been sleeping so much more soundly lately, just
in time
to get home and have to adjust back to US time ;)
When we woke up it was almost time for the red couch pictures
and the
river boat cruise. The evening was beautiful and the cruise was
very
enjoyable. Sophie had a great time looking at all the lights.
The meal was
a bit adventurous for me: tofu, duck, and some things I didn't
recognize, but Sophie enjoyed it!
Tomorrow is our last full day
here, I am so
excited to get this girl HOME!! |
